The staff was excellent; always willing to lend a hand or direct you to where you needed to go. Every need was taken care of for my entire family of 20, including a special beach bonfire for my 70th birthday celebration. Food was great and butlers arranged dinners for 5 consecutive nights at different restaurants where we could all dine together. All guests had swim out rooms so we could visit each other in the pools outside our beach front rooms. Everyone raved about the trip and no one wanted to leave. Hats off to Grand Palladium Family Selection team, especially Gerardo and our butlers. We will be back!

The Grand Palladium is one of the better resorts in the Riveria Maya region in Cancun. We were very warmly welcomed into the Family Selection lounge and they had honored all of our requests. The upgrade is definitely worth the extra money however the butler service is a hit and miss, depending on whom you get and how full the resort is during your visit. The place is huge so do take the time to explore and enjoy the surroundings. We were given the privilege of accessing all of the activities, areas and restaurants which was a bonus. Our favorites were of course the Nest and Al Hacienda for buffet and El Dorado for dinner. We had made reservations every night but the rest of the restaurants failed to leave a mark with Bamboo being the worst of the lot. The swimming pool area is very well maintained however the main pool is uniformly over 5ft deep so please bear that in mind if going in with kids. Our room was in Villa 49 and was extremely comfortable and roomy. We really appreciated the automatic lights in the bathroom and the seperation between the shower, toilet and washing areas. It's really helped accessibility. The nightly shows were the highlight though and the team went all out every night to make our trip very memorable. We are very grateful to Grand Palladium for their hospitality.

Overall, we probably wouldn't return, I think we are simply not all-inclusive people and would prefer to go out to a town and find authentic mexican food. Most of the servers at the buffets clearly don't want to be there. The restaurants were a lot better than the buffets. The room was nice, we had a pool swim-up. The Butler was very helpful using the App because we had a lot of questions and needed to make reservations at the restaurants. The sheets on the bed, though, were extremely thin. I don't think they understand what a true comforter/duvet is. I requested one and received yet another set of sheets. We were so happy to go to the Westin at Cancun after this because they know how to make a nice bed. The main issue with this hotel was the food was fairly mediocre, and we were pressured by a "concierge" when we checked in to book a tour with him of their time share. We went to the nearby hotel property and there were couples everywhere getting sales pitches. This is not what we expected from the hotel. The guy would see us and give us yet another pitch-a free massage, etc. The pluses were seeing a lot of cool animals like the mexican racoons everywhere and the monkeys. The food options at The Family Selection pool were fantastic and that pool was a nice quiet place to go away from the rest of the hotel. For food, I would be sure to go to the hibachi dinner at least one night. The beach area by Family Selection was the best part.

The resort is beautiful and expansive, filled with beautiful flora and fauna. The one drawback was the ala carte food, which left a lot to be desired. The best restaurant by far was Bravo, which is an add-on but free if you book through Expedia.

They SCAM YOU with the $600 hotel credit. Is nothing but a sad coupon book. I requested to change rooms because the room had a bad humid smell. They never called me back. I also requested a bottle sterilizer 3 times and I never got it. They pretend they care but they wont do anything like this guy that saw us leaving front desk to complain about the room and said: I can definitely help you out and will personally look into it; 4 minutes later was trying to sell us a time share and guess what? We never saw his face again. They gave us welcome fruits but they were rotten and had mold in it. I complained but then again no action to make things better for us. Food was a 6.5/10 Bed was very uncomfortable 3/10 What I did like was the property itself. Very green and lots of wild friendly animals to see around the property. I wouldn’t come back

We stayed at the Family Selection Villas with our 20-month-old and 3-year-old. Overall, it was a nice stay with some clear positives, but also a few disappointments. Pros: Family Selection offers a more private experience, including a welcome beach bag with kids’ sunglasses and water bottles (a nice exclusive touch). There is a dedicated family buffet with a play area and an exclusive family pool with fun water features for younger kids. The rooms are beautiful—we had an upgraded beachfront swim-out room and highly recommend the upgrade. Staff were very kind, especially Emmanuel our butler and Edgar at La Paisana, which had the best food on the resort. The property was very clean, cart service was efficient, and access to multiple resorts (Kantenah, Colonial, White Sands, and TRS Yucatán) was a big plus. The White Sands pool was the best one. Cons: The Kids Club/Baby Club felt misadvertised—both age groups were combined with limited visible supervision, and we did not feel comfortable leaving our toddlers. The $600 resort credit advertised via Expedia was actually a coupon book with minimum spends, not true credit. The main pool is 6 ft deep throughout, pools were not heated (even in December), food was generally bland with limited kid options, and poolside buffet items were left uncovered with flies. Entertainment was limited and better for older kids, and drinks were watered down. Overall: Beautiful resort with great staff and amenities, but better suited for older kids

Our second trip to Family Selection Kantenah Riviera Maya firstly because our kids (5 and 7 this year) just LOVED the daily kids camp so much. The staff there (including Karen, Emma, Edu, Jazi, Lore, Maritza) were just wonderful and the kids didn't want to leave at the end of the day. We upgraded to the 40 building, the beachfront one and had an absolutely incredible suite with two huge rooms and two full bathrooms, as well as a private hot tub on the spacious balcony. The upgrade for the space and proximity to the beach and view was worth it. The room was just HUGE. The dedicated butlers for building 40 were also terrific (Emmanuel and Luis) and were available to help us with anything we needed by Whatsapp. The Family Selection beach is notably better than the other beach areas as its much less crowded and much more space between chairs. Worth the upgrade! The beach itself is great and wonderful for kids because it stays relatively shallow really far out, but there are some gentle waves to not make it boring. Even our 5 year old who is not a strong swimmer could have fun a fair ways out. If you encounter rocks while walking in, shift down the beach, there are plenty of white sand only areas to walk far out in the bathtub temp water, as fish swim around you! One day a big nest of seaweed accumulated in our area but it had moved off by the next day. Tips: Bring sunscreen, its exorbitantly priced at the gift shop (though there is a communal bottle at Family Select beach).
